Of course, this is probably the reason Oda's series is so damn LONG (403 episodes, and counting) but I'll be damned if it isn't quality every step of the way. I stopped watching Naruto at 140 and Naruto Shippuden at 30, and yet watch and rewatch One Piece episodes as if Oda would keel over if I stopped. In any case! Umm, it might mean that you'd have to write a LOT, but I think it'd be most interesting if you treated the superheroes in a similar manner - some tension between groupmembers, some leaving and returning, subordinates only on the surface. They'd be like Legoes; you could deconstruct the group and reconstruct them into something more interesting than the last, over and over and over again.
errm, crew ramble pt. 2
